Our Story

The Western Wildlife Corridor, a nonprofit land trust established in 1992, is dedicated to protecting natural habitats along the Ohio River Valley from the Mill Creek to the Great Miami River. Currently, we protect over 400 acres of forest at seven preserves open to the public. Our headquarters, the Kirby Nature Center in Addyston, Ohio, serves as a hub for our dedicated volunteers and donors, without whom our accomplishments would not be possible. We take immense pride in our role as guardians of both the land we protect and the generous contributions of our supporters. There are countless opportunities for involvement, from visiting a preserve and enjoying a hike or seminar to engaging in a volunteer habitat restoration event.
